Intelligent processing equipment for multi-core optical fiber connector and processing method

Abstract

The invention discloses intelligent processing equipment for a multi-core optical fiber connector and a processing method. The intelligent processing equipment comprises a machine table, a drying mechanism and linkage guiding mechanisms, a conveying mechanism is arranged at the top of the machine table, and the conveying mechanism comprises a guide plate, a clamping mechanism, a driven gear, an annular rack, a driving gear, a motor, an annular conveying belt and a limiting fixing seat; and the guide plate is located on one side of the top of the annular conveying belt. Workpieces needing to be processed are received and conveyed through the conveying mechanism, the workpieces are automatically clamped and positioned, automatic core insertion, glue injection and optical fiber insertion work are sequentially carried out in the process, manual assistance of operators is not needed, and the workpiece processing intelligence is improved; and meanwhile, the two linkage guiding mechanisms are matched for position installation, and thus the conveyed workpieces can be conveniently received, and can be automatically and quickly conveyed to the next station, so that the possibility that optical fibers are inclined and staggered is reduced, and the processing efficiency of the optical fiber connector is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber connectors, in particular to intelligent processing equipment and processing methods for multi-core optical fiber connectors. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of network technology and the continuous upgrading of network applications, higher requirements are placed on the bandwidth of the cabling system. System suppliers and end users are increasingly using optical fibers when planning and designing network cabling systems. Connector products, fiber optic connector products are no longer limited to the backbone wiring system, but also gradually enter the application fields of fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-desktop. The production of fiber optic connectors is a purely manual and labor-intensive industry.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] During the production and processing of the current optical fiber connectors, it is often necessary to ferrule, inject glue, and insert optical fibers on the workpiece. During this period, the operator often needs to perform auxiliary operations such as positioning and picking, and it is difficult to automatically process, transport and transfer the workpiece. , reduces the intelligence of the equipment, and needs to be heated and dried after the optical fiber is inserted. However, the glue solution solidification of the workpiece after the optical fiber is inserted is not stable, it is difficult to quickly transport the workpiece to the drying mechanism, and it is easy to cause The vertical surface of the optical fiber is inclined and shifted, which leads to a decline in the qualified rate of the connector after production, and reduces the connection between the workpiece and the drying mechanism in the processing equipment; when the workpiece is heated, the fiber ferrule and glue The contact heating surface between the liquid and the heating system is small, and the processing equipment is often delivered at a fast speed, which may easily cause the optical fiber to fail to dry and cure well with the glue, especially for multi-core optical fiber workpieces. It is more difficult for the heating system to interact with the optical fiber connection. contact, reduce the stability of the optical fiber in subsequent processing, increase the possibility of positional deviation of the optical fiber, and reduce the heating and curing efficiency of the workpiece
